VW Street Parking

Here is a picture of a VW parked on the street.  Could be anywhere, but in my mind its somewhere like Philadelphia.  Or maybe some other big city in the eastern US.
The car is just sitting on the side of the street begging to be painted.

Oh, like many of my paintings from the past few months, this one comes with a video.  If you have an interest and wanna see it, click the link below.

Thank you.

Morro Bay City Limits

Yes, this is Morro Bay.  I know there was some question about what this painting is.  This was painted from a picture taken in Morro Strand.  You actually have the city limit sign with some bushes behind it, and the rock in the background.

The thing I like least about this painting is the sign.  I thought for sure I would like it best when I was drawing it.  As it turned out, painting around all the letters was pretty difficult.  I think I'm getting much better at letting the paint mix on the paper.  If you look at the bush behind the sign, there are lots of different colors, brom yellows to greens, blues and purples.  They all seem to work together to give you the feeling of a huge bush.  and if you look at the ground around the bush, it is blue at the top, which pushes it back, and has a reddish tint on the bottom which serves to pull that area forward.

Hope you all enjoy this.  It was fun to draw and paint.
